Apparently you missed Noble's Promise last year at Ascot. He only beat the 2000 Guineas winner, who subsequently knocked off the French Zenyatta, Goldikova. He also would have hit the board if there were less horses in the race.

As Noble's Promise clearly cannot hang with the best sprinters in the land, I fully expect him to be a force once he's returned to his rightful place, the turf mile division.

Don't they run the Queen Elizabeth II at Ascot? Food for thought.

Anyways, I have Banned placed somewhere between Manila and Honor Glide in my personal pantheon of top 3yo turf horses. Street Game is a poor man's Solar Splendor.

I think that's fair and reasonable. They could be the third best US horses behind Twirling Candy.

As Col. Kilgore might say:

'Candy don't turf!

Actually, he does.
